Tar Sands spills–1,472,000 litres and still spilling
Right now in Alberta, tar sands bitumen is spilling into the environment at four different sites, (potentially even 6) one directly underneath a slough. All four spills have been spilling for months and the Alberta and Canadian governments know all about it, they are just powerless to stop them.To date over 1,472,000 liters of tar sands have been spilled onto the landscape near Cold Lake, Alberta and every day another 3,000 liters pour out. To help you keep track and to remind the Alberta government, and CNRL (Canadian National Resources Ltd – the company responsible for the spills) that their work is far from over we’ve come up with this handy counter: http://spill-widget.openwe.st/
